Answer:

  • second choice:<em><u> 1.0 g of the solution contains 15 × 10⁻⁶ g of benzene.</u></em>

Explanation:

ppm is a unit of concentration that means parts per million. In grams that is grams of solute per one million (10⁶) grams of solution.

Then, <em>15 ppm of benzene</em> means that there are 15 grams of benzen in 1,000,000 grams of solution.

That leads to:

  • 1,000,000 g solution / 15 g benzene

Multiplying numerator and denominator by 10⁻⁶ you find:

  • 1,000,000 × 10⁻⁶ g solution / (15 × 10⁻⁶ g benzene)

Simplifying:

  • 1.0 g solution / (15 × 10⁻⁶ g benzene)

Which is read as 1.0 g of the solution contains 15 × 10⁻⁶ g of benzene, i.e. the second answer choice.

Nutka1998 [239]

The empirical and molecular formulas will be  C_5H_5O_2 and  C_1_0H_1_0O_4 respectively.

<h3>Empirical and molecular formula</h3>

The compound contains C, H, and O.

C = 61.15/12 = 5.0958

H = 5.3/1 = 5.3

O = 31.55/16 = 1.9719

Divide by the smallest

C = 2.6

H = 2.7

O = 1

Thus, the empirical formula is C_5H_5O_2

Empirical formula mass = (12x5) + (1x5) + 16x2 = 97

n = 152.15/97 = 2

The molecular formula is C_1_0H_1_0O_4

When a aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared, the acid is dissociated. Calculate the acid dissociation constant of the
stepan [7]
<h2>K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}</h2>

Explanation:

  • When an aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared it is dissociated is as follows-

        {\displaystyle {\ce {HA  ⇄  {H^+}+{A^{-}}}  }}

Here HA is a protonic acid such as acetic acid, CH_3COOH

  • The double arrow signifies that it is an equilibrium process, which means the dissociation and recombination of the acid occur simultaneously.
  • The acid dissociation constant can be given by -

        K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

  • The reaction is can also be represented by Bronsted and lowry -

         \\{\displaystyle {\ce {{HA}+ H_2O} ⇄  [H_3O^+] [A^-]

  • Then the dissociation constant will be

        K_a = \dfrac{[H_3O^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

Here, K_a is the dissociation constant of an acid.
